CrossDJ: Desktop-Laptop Sharing Media Drive Question
Posted: 05 Apr 2012, 01:20
Hello fellow vibers'
_ Seeking database file management wisdom _
(ps... this may be off board topic a bit, but I can't figure out how to activate posting to the tech support zone yet, despite having my serial number in now ... sorry about that).
I'm setting up my CrossDJ app and have a question which I'm sure others have figured out ...
I have an external media drive that contains all the mp3s I intend to DJ from (I have a lot of iTunes integration as well, playlists, etc).
The drive is usually plugged into my studio's large screen iMac, which is the best place for me to setup CrossDJ, work out mixes, etc...
At the same time, I have to do DJ gigs from my 13" Macbook. Its easy enough to unplug the media drive from the iMac and plug it into the Macbook – but what about all those database files sitting on the iMac?
QUESTION: I was wondering if there's a way to program CrossDJ to store its database files on the external media drive? Then, whether I'm gigging on the Macbook, or setting up things on the iMac ... I'm working with the same set of database files.
... OR is there some danger to the Macbook and the iMac both writing the same files at different time.
Both machines are running the same OS (10.6.8) and I switch the controller (Hercules MK4) back and forth between both.
Thanks for taking the time to look over my query!
